Debugger! Surprised no one has mentioned it yet. I work in js and php, both of which I use the debugger a lot.
Set a breakpoint, burn through the code. Chrome has some really nice features - you can tell it to skip over files (like jQuery) you can open the console and poke around, set variables to see what happens.
Stepping though the code line by line for a few hours will soon show you the basics.
